This gorgeous tapestry of literature and butterflies tells the story of Fyodor's pursuits as a writer. Its heroine is not Fyodor's elusive and beloved Zina, however, but Russian prose and poetry themselves.

This book is a gift indeed. His prose reads like poetry and as in most of his work, it is obvious that his heart is broken over the exile from his homeland. The details of a childhood in Russia and life in Berlin I found fascinating. Also, his love of butterflies and moths is interesting. I give this book 5 stars and it will always be in my library to read again and again.
